the ayars affairs

Even with Sofie slowing things down a bit for a few days, life continues to move!

This morning Matt left at 5 for a meeting in Indiana with the one of the directors of OMS.  Praying that will be a productive and encouraging meeting for them both!  This afternoon is Sofie's first doctor's appointment, and Uncle Adam is preparing to leave tomorrow morning.

We spoke to many Haiti friends throughout the week...Gertha is happily married and in their new little home.  The staff at Emmaus is doing well, all working in shifts to accept new students and going out to surrounding cities speaking to pastors and in churches about EBS's program.

They have shared with over 300 pastors/groups so far and are recruiting like wild!  It is really a gift for Matt and I to be here, speaking with people about coming alongside of Emmaus, while the rest of our team is in Haiti, speaking with people about Emmaus, too.  God has definitely given us a lot of reasons to be excited about EBS and what He's doing in Haiti through Bible training, ministry and a handful of faithful men and women.

However, we received the concerning news last night that my grandfather in Pennsylvania was found passed out, and while reports so far seem to be varying from dehydration to a heart attack, we still don't know anything for sure.  This morning we're trying to figure out who can get there, when and how, which is proving to be a bit harder now with two little ones, with Adam having a flight out of Columbus at 5 am tomorrow morning, Matt being in meetings, etc.

Please be praying for my grandpa (many of you know him from his years of Saturday Sermons, Bob Lind), my grandma (these are my mom's parents) and for all the family who cares greatly for them both.  Thank you!  will keep you posted...
